Chess rating system

Ratings on chess.com do not have to be very accurate.

My very low rating of 1658 for Live Bullet is not accurate at all

The first games the rating goes very much up and down, after more games it will stabilize.

Your surname could be a clue.

Btw, tactics isn't a true rating. Fabiano, you have less than 300 pts between your *chess* ratings.

turtle, the general points system followed is as follows:

pawn - 1pt.

knight/bishop - 3pts.

rook - 5pts.

queen - 10pts.

of course points are not everything... the position of your piece also matters.. for example you might not mind losing a bishop or rook to save a pawn on the 7th row.. and points dont have any bearing on the game result.. it is just a basic framework to help beginners understand the value of different pieces

Pretty high rating for someone who doesn't know that a queen is 9 points.

2 rooks + pawns can usually beat Q + pawns with same # of pawns

Tactics are usually much easier. I have 800+ points from tactics to blitz and 1000+ points from it to rapid/bullet
